You are correct*, but that doesn't stop the inanity. My guys have been called Pyrs, Bernese Mountain Dogs, Saint Bernards, Chows (???) and "the biggest damn labs I've ever seen."

*Black is by far the most common for Newfs, but the AKC recognizes black-and-white (also called Landseers, after Sir Edwin Landseer who liked to use them in his paintings), bronze/brown, and grey. Brown-and-white and grey-and-white are immediately disqualified from the conformation show ring.

I ALWAYS get asked that!! I also get St. Bernards, and some other wierd ones. I own a boutique and they come to work with me sometimes, that when you get the REALLY strange comments!!
People actually come in just for the dogs, they ask if they are here, and if not, they just turn around and leave. I think Im going to charge $5 a pet from now on:lol
